A bit late for Season 4 if it's not in there already, but if it's not clear in Season 4, this is a good reminder for Season 5.
There are no plans to make any adventures on the DMs Guild "AL-Legal" at this time, however we are paying close attention to what gets published - as it is an excellent way to headhunt new authors for future AL-adventures.
It then goes on to explain how these limitations apply in the subsequent sections on p3 and p4.[h=4]Part 1: Characters[/h]
This section contains information on creating and advancing characters for play in the D&D Adventurers League.
[h=5]Allowed Rules[/h]
Characters originating during the Rage of Demons storyline season can use the following rules for character options:
• D&D Basic Rules (all rules except rolling ability scores and hit points, rolling for starting wealth, some alignment restrictions)
• D&D Player’s Handbook™ (all rules except rolling ability scores and hit points, some alignment restrictions)
• Out of the Abyss™ appendix A
• Monster Manual™ appendix A (beasts only)
Official documentation, such as a D&D Adventurers League certificate, might provide exceptions to the allowed rules. Spells, race, or class features in the allowed rules that specifically reference a creature not
found in the allowed rules in order for them to function properly are also an exception to these rules.
Are you saying that it's a *bad idea* to put something in the players guide that says, clearly,
"The only items in the DMs Guild that are AL legal can be found by clicking the D&DAL filter on the left side of the page, then looking for items with the D&DAL logo."
As such, I personally see this as laziness as this is spelled out clearly on P3
Don Norman said:When people fail to follow these bizarre, secret rules, and the machine does the wrong thing, its operators are blamed for not understanding the machine, for not following its rigid specifications. … It is the machine and its design that are at fault. It is the duty of machines and those who design them to understand people. It is not our duty to understand the arbitrary, meaningless dictates of machines.
